Description

The present invention relates to a training device for performing squats with proper form while holding a dumbbell and applying a load, and which can be easily used at home.

Squats that are performed under load include squats that are performed while carrying a barbell, squats that are performed while leaning on a pad on the back, and squat machines that are performed while sitting on a pad, and these are widely used in sports gyms. However, since barbell squats involve carrying a barbell on your shoulders, a squat rack is used as a safety measure, and training form is difficult. Squat machines may not be suitable for use at home, which is not structured as a sports facility, due to limitations such as size and weight. Squats, which are performed while holding dumbbells in your hands, have been introduced as an easy exercise to do at home, but it is difficult to maintain proper form with your upper body slightly upright, and you may find that the dumbbells or hands touch the sides of your legs during training. Alternatively, problems include poor training form due to excessive forward leaning of the upper body or to avoid being hit.

In the prior art literature, there is a training device that allows you to squat while leaning against a wall or a board. For example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 5-53664 has a base plate that has casters on the part that comes into contact with the wall or board, and allows you to squat while leaning on the wall or board. However, since there is no structure to support the vertical straight trajectory of the casters, the parallelism between the line connecting the left and right casters and the floor surface is lost, making it easy for the casters to move on an oblique trajectory, making it difficult to always maintain stable vertical movement in a straight direction. In addition, wearing a belt around the waist requires a lot of effort to put on and take off, and there are also drawbacks such as the inability to perform squats while holding the dumbbells while holding the grips.

Utility Model Hei5-53664

It is a training device that allows you to always perform squats with the proper form, and allows you to do squats with a form that prevents the dumbbells or hands from hitting the sides of your legs when you squat with dumbbells.It is a heavy and large-scale device for sports facilities. It is an object of the present invention to provide an easy-to-use squat device that can be easily used at home without having to use the equipment, and which solves the problems of the prior art described above.

The present invention consists of a board 3 provided with a guide rail 4 in the longitudinal direction of the central part, and a cart 1 that can be moved along the guide rail 4. The user leans the board 3 against a wall or pillar, and places his buttocks and back on the cart. By using a squat device in which the cart moves in unison with the user's body by pressing against the user's body, proper form can always be maintained and the above-mentioned problem can be solved. The numbers in the text are the symbols shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.

The above-mentioned trolley 1 is equipped with a pad 2, and an angle is formed between the part where the user's buttocks and the back contact, suitable for moving the trolley 1, are in contact with each other to match the user's slightly forward-leaning form. Preferably, this further facilitates retention of proper form.

The above-mentioned trolley 1 is equipped with two wheels at the top and bottom, and the width of the guide rail 4 is set slightly narrower than the distance between the wheels, so that the vertical movement of the squat moves in the vertical direction and the upper body does not move excessively. Create a structure that allows you to maintain proper form without leaning forward.

The board 3 mentioned above is long so that it can be used by leaning against a wall or pillar, and in order to maintain a constant near-vertical inclination, a gap plate 5 is placed between the bottom of the board and the wall or pillar. An inserted structure is preferred, which allows the angle of the user's upper body to remain stable and unaltered.

With the squat device of the present invention, during a squat, the buttocks lean against the board 3 via the trolley 1, so there is no need to worry about falling backwards, and the upper body can maintain proper form with a slight upright posture, reducing strain on the lower back. It is reduced and the effect of exercise increases. Also, when performing dumbbell squats, which require a load while holding dumbbells, you can hold the dumbbells slightly behind the sides of your legs, allowing you to continue stably without the dumbbells getting in the way of your exercise.

The squat equipment of this invention can be used by leaning against existing walls or pillars in your home, etc., so the equipment itself does not require parts such as rail supports, and can be made compact and lightweight, so it can be used in a structure similar to a sports facility. It can also be used at home, etc., where you do not have one.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the form of a squat device for carrying out the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the squat device of the present invention and the user's form when squatting with dumbbells. FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the relationship between the wheels of the bogie of the present invention and the guide rails.

A mode for implementing the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the squat device of the present invention, which is installed so that the wheels 6 of a trolley 1 sandwich a guide rail 4 provided on a board 3. The illustration is based on the assumption that the user is pressing the buttocks and back of the user's body against the pad 2 provided on the trolley 1. The inclination of the board 3 indicates the oblique state when the board is used with the topmost part leaning against a wall, pillar, or the like. The gap plate 5 is inserted between the lowest part of the board 3 and a wall or pillar to keep the slope of the board 3 constant.

FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the squat device of the present invention and the user's body when he squats down with a dumbbell in his hand. During a squat, the user leans his buttocks and back against the trolley 1, so the trolley 1 moves up and down on the board 3 along the guide rail 4 in accordance with the exercise, keeping the upper body somewhat upright. Proper form with a forward lean is maintained.

FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the wheels of the truck of the present invention and the guide rail 4 provided on the board 3, and the lower part of the figure shows a cross section of the board 3 and the guide rail 4.
